Honestly, did not expect the food to be that good. The pasta we had was delicious and the owner with his wife were very sweet and friendly. Thank you so much for making our day very special

I recently chowed down at Vaticano in Fort Erie and was blown away by the ridiculously fantastic atmosphere, which was totally enhanced by the owner's obsessive attention to authentic decor. Our server and manager, Fran, provided crazy attentive and respectful service. We kicked things off with the fried calamari, which, in my humble opinion, is the best in Niagara, and also devoured a custom pizza that was truly off the charts. We'll definitely be back for more.

If you would ever want amazing quality Italian food and the atmosphere of a home, you should definitely visit this beautiful restaurant by the lake, where the service is outstanding by the warm welcome and care from Rosa, where the Chefs Felice food takes you right to the heart of Italy, and where the time stops and you remember to enjoy life.
